Well, they got it part right. I was explicit my query. It was not MY problem.

Anyway, for clarification per Amazon Kindle support, here is their answer to "Can putting your Kindle thru the airport security machines damage it?"
Just to be on the safe side, I would still read it right before, and right after going thru the process.
